“I would like to commend Engr. Quito for being an effective 8888 Citizen’s Complaint Center Focal Person,” Lazatin said.

Mayor Lazatin vows to efficiently utilize the 8888 Citizen’s Complaint Center to address complaints coming from the citizens of Angeles City.

“Our administration will continue to use this mechanism of the Philippine government to receive and resolve the grievances of our dear Angeleños,” Mayor Lazatin asserted.

From January to September, the CPDO received a total of 56 citizens’ concerns, which were acted upon and resolved within the 72-hour compliance period set by the OP.
